Environment

Minimise the environmental impact and footprint of our activities

Our objective is to limit the environmental impact of our operations throughout their lifecycle, minimising the use of non-renewable resources and investing in conservation. Good environmental performance is a fundamental condition for social acceptability of mining projects. We continuously monitor the performance and responsiveness of management with regard to environmental challenges.

Our operational philosophy is to manage environmental risk and mitigate our impact over the life cycle of a mine. The Group's environmental management systems extend from the exploration phase, to mine development and operation, to closure and restoration. Through our long-term experience in the mining sector, we have identified five main environmental aspects on which our operations have an impact and therefore require control and mitigation.

Energy

Reduce unit consumption of energy

Water

Reduce unit consumption of fresh water through the recirculation of water

Our business model spans the full mining value chain from exploration, development and construction, to mining operations, which are supported by strategic resources essential to the effective execution of the business
